Happy Birthday Mom!

Today we celebrated Mom's 45th birthday! We had Dan & Becky, and Uncle Paul over for breakfast and we had quiche, cinnamon swirl coffee cake and fruit salad. Then My Mom went to lunch with some friends in Gardiner. Later on we had enchiladas, salad and I made a CHERRY PIE for dessert! If I don't say so myself, it was SO good!! :)

The blossoms outside of our downstairs door always bloom around her birthday. 

This made the house smell delicious!

I used the leftover cherry juice and threw together some cherry syrup with sugar and water. We'll save that for later when we have pancakes. :) 

Levi thought the decorations were fun to look at. ;)

I took the pie outside for some artsy pics...

We took about a zillion pics of the pie, because we thought it was so good!

Happy Mother's Day!

This year for Mother's Day I woke up and made Cinnamon Roll Pancakes for breakfast, which sounds amazing, I know, so go get the recipe! And they were amazing!! Just make your favorite pancake recipe batter and then mix together some brown sugar, cinnamon and butter and swirl it on top of the pancakes. They were a hit in our family, so go make 'em for yours!

I tried swirling a heart on Mom's, but it kinda faded. ;) I made some icing to drizzle on top, so you don't need to have syrup. They actually do taste like cinnamon rolls...

Dad got Mom some tiger tulips.

Happy Mother's Day! <3

My 15th Birthday Parties!

On my real birthday (the 28th) we went to Bozeman, and this time instead of going to Fuddruckers, we tried Old Chicago, which is like a pizza/pasta/salad restaurant. It was a fun change, but we probably won't go back there again. My Mom made quiche and blueberry sour cream coffee cake for breakfast and that gave us a great start for our day!

Y.U.M.

Usually we always have caramel french toast for breakfast, but I changed it up this year.

Old Chicago...there was barely anyone there on a Monday night!

I ordered cheesy chicken pasta...

When we got back home, everyone was pretty worn out from the long drive with Levi not wanting to be in his seat, so we made a lot of stops. But, we still had room for the Strawberry Layer Cake my Mom made with Strawberry Cream Cheese frosting! 

We had a really fun belated birthday party on May 2nd with my friends and their families. My Dad fired up his new pizza oven and we made over 20 pizzas for everyone who came! Each person got their own pizza and could decorate it with whatever they wanted (pepperoni, basil, mozzarella, tomato sauce, sausage etc.) and then we would hand it out our kitchen window and my Dad or any of the other men would grab it and take it to the oven. They were SO good!!!

My Mom made two huge salads, one fruit, one green and barely anyone touched them because we were so full from pizza!

Sandy was the dough master. :)

Dad, Ron, Shane and Steve on the pizza deck. 

Tilly wore her princess dress down to the beach and then decided there was too much sand and walked back. :)

My best friend Emma Burke and me. 

We could hardly even eat the ice cream cake for dessert!
